Indeed, the image of the galaxy NGC 4698 photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope appears to be a rather calm one. One may see the bright core of the galaxy shining against the background, and some blue stars and dust clouds located within the spiral arms of the galaxy.
However, the structure of the galaxy NGC 4698 is different from the structure of the Milky Way and other spiral galaxies. The elongated form of the galactic bulge and the nearly perpendicular rotation of the inner stars and gas in the galaxy are specific to the galaxy under discussion.
